Description
If you're travelling abroad, find out what diseases are prevalent where you're going and get the vaccinations.
Some countries won't let you in unless you have proof of certain vaccinations. The most common ones are tetanus, diphtheria, polio, measles, cholera, smallpox, hepatitis, typhoid and yellow fever.
Your state health department or the Center of Disease Control (877-fyi-trip, 800-458-5231, 800-311-3435, 888-232-3228, cdc.gov/travel/) should be able to help you with immunization/ vaccination requirements in foreign countries.
Some governments require immunizations to protect their people from visiting foreigners and to protect foreigners from any health risks in their country.
Ask the embassy of the country you're going to if you need special immunizations such as for yellow fever, malaria, or cholera. You might also need a health certificate and possibly an AIDS test.
Health inspections and immunization requirements at international borders come down to two things:
Could you be bringing some germs in the country you are entering?
Could you have been infected in a country you are leaving or which you have recently visited?
Border rules regarding health are there to protect countries against external infections. If you arrive from a country with common diseases which aren't common in the country you're going to, some countries want documentation that you've been inoculated and free of the disease.
If you have a cold or look sick, you could be refused entry.
You can get International Certificates of Vaccination (yellow book) from climics that specialize in travel medicine.
Some countries that require AIDS tests for entry. They want them with the visa application before they will issue the visa.
If you have a medical condition, take your medical records with you and get the names of some English speaking doctors in advance.
Tell your family doctor about your travel plans and have a checkup a few months before leaving so you can either get a clean bill of health or take care of any potential problems.
Get the required immunizations.
If you've got a medical condition, take medications with you.
If you have a serious condition, get a recommendation of your doctor at home to a doctor where you're going.
Wear a Medic Alert bracelet or necklace if applicable, 800 432-5378.
Get current immunizations for the normal communicable diseases such as measles or tetanus.
Find out the exact immunization requirements for where you're going.
Get your vaccinations recorded on World Health Organization approved forms, who.int. Keep them with your passport.
Take enough prescription medication to last you. Keep medicines in their original prescription containers to avoid hassles with custom officials. Get a letter from your doctor or a prescription form to further document your situation.
